Will always be FJR rider at heart
My own is not as shiny anymore as the brand new one in the pictures. I also have two different (and cheap) HJC helmets that I used before, but neither were a really great fit.
I went to a local dealer and tried on several different helmet brands, including Shoe (and I'm still pissed that none of their helmets were a good fit for me, I really wanted one), and found a standard Arai Quantum II or Vector to be the most comfortable fit for my noggin. Then I got this Hacking Replica (Quantum II) shipped from a Midwest dealership via ebay - I found the only new Quantum or Vector that was on normal auction, and it ended like on a Tuesday morning at 7:30 am. I only looked for getting one at a low price, the design was really secondary for me. I paid only $250 shipped for it. But as this is a racing version it's so much tighter on my head then a regular Quantum II, that I wondered if I could ever get used to it. Two years later I just think that tight means it must be very safe, and I am just fine with it. Now I am probably stuck only ever wanting to buy REALLY tight fitting helmets .... :lol: :lol:
